I came across this article about DPS enrollment. I was amazed last year when the enrollment was reported at 92-93,000 and this year's is estimated at only 80,000 students. That's about one third of the enrollment from my old school days. Also, Albuquerque Public Schools has an enrollment of 93-95,000 - from a city population of 520-530,000.
